Two North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) at communal feeding area along edge of pond. Northern Rockies, Fall (late evening light). Beaver often have a regular (usually several) feeding area within their home territory where they will bring small limbs to feed on. Note: the larger beaver on the right is an adult while the other one is a young one born earlier in the year (probably four to five months old).
